As for the /128s: I think that providing a /64 for a dialup router, negotiating unique host-IDs with incoming PPP clients and then sending RAs for the "shared" /64 down the PPP links will work fine for /128 (auto-)assignment. I'm not sure, though, whether that's fully backed by all relevant specs.
I don't understand what you mean here... Suppose:
host1 host2 +---------------+ +--------------------+ | / |ISP dial-up box+-ppp-+customer dial-up box+---customer subnet +---------------+ +--------------------+ | \ host4 host3
This is not the scenario where /128 would be used for. +---------------+ +---------------------+ |ISP dial-up box+-ppp-+customer dial-up HOST+ +---------------+ +---------------------+ is. For a LAN connection, using a /64 or larger is pretty much a no-brainer.
